ampano

building

ampano noun "building" (especially of wood), "wooden hall" (PAN; alternative form umpano, VT45:36, which Tolkien in one case altered to ampano, VT46:8). In the pre-classical Tengwar system presupposed in the Etymologies, ampano was also the name of tengwa #6 (VT46:8), which letter Tolkien would later call umbar instead (changing its value from mp to mb).

ampano

noun. building (especially of wood), wooden hall, construction, edifice

A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “building (especially of wood), wooden hall”, an elaboration of ᴹQ. pano “piece of shaped wood” under the root ᴹ√PAN “place, set, fix in place (especially of wood)” (Ety/PAN). The form umpano “build[ing]” appeared under the intensive root ᴹ√N- (EtyAC/N), but under the entry for ᴹ√PAN Tolkien considered and then rejected this alternate form: {ampano >> umpano >>} ampano (EtyAC/PAN). The word ampano “building, construction” appeared in The Feanorian Alphabet from the 1930s and 40s (PE22/22, 52), and ampanō̆ “building, construction, edifice” appeared in the Quenya Verbal System from the late 1940s (PE22/114).

tṃpṃ

root. build

A root in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “build”, with derivatives ᴱQ. tump- “build”, ᴱQ. tumpo “shed”, and ᴱQ. tampo “well” (QL/93). It was likely related to ᴱ√TAMA “(beat) smelt, forge” (QL/88), as further evidenced by ᴱ✶tṃp- “beat” > ᴱQ. tump- in the Early Qenya Grammar of the 1920s (PE14/58). It thus may have reemerged in the later root √TAM “construct” from the late 1960s (PE17/107).
